    L.E.C. would indicate a purpose built cavalry carbine rather than a cut down rifle. Any chance of pics?

    What a shame that someone bubba'd this beauty! And disappointing that no one is making repro wood or nosecaps for these!

    Still, a fine old rifle that I'd be proud to own.

    Can someone save me a hunt through the bookshelf and remind me how the barrel diameter on the LEC compares to the SMLE? I know it's thinner than the MLE, but was it identical to the SMLE?

    They are being made but only small amounts, and the fore ends etc are made to order. ( I,m waiting for a drawing of the nose cap so I can get some machined)
